Hmm, rather blank example there ! Your question is a very FAQ. RRD does **NOT** store the data you enter - it will **always** normalise and consolidate your data according to the rules you gave it when you created the RRD file. The only way to get out what you put in is for you to ensure your data is already normalised so that the normalisation done by RRD is a null operation. Alex has a very good tutorial on "Rates, normalizing and consolidating" which "explains how RRDtool processes its input data, normalization and consolidation are described there as well as some generic stuff about the properties of an RRA". http://www.vandenbogaerdt.nl/rrdtool/ -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
